I had similiar experience with my install. It was just too much powder coating on the 1 side. As long as it's in, your good to go.
Same here. Actually, exactly the same. The passenger side slid in, driver's side needed coaxing. No problem though. Drives straight and rides great!

My experience has been that production tolerances were such that seldom were both bars indexed the same. This can result in having to pull one of the control arms down just to get the bar started especially when using rubber LCA bushings. This is also why usually one of the adjusters needs to be screwed in further than the other when setting ride height. If you're using poly LCA bushings I suggest driving the "T" bar all the way forward. That way once the bar is preloaded it will prevent the LCA from moving in a fore and/or aft direction, which can be a common occurrence with poly LCA bushings.
I guess I should have explained a little further. I'm not using Poly bushings in the LCA's. However I am using fully adjustable tubular U"A"A's, and beefier adjustable strut rods. Another thing I did, was to tie the LCA assembly together with the weld in piece on the bottom of the LCA's. This should make the whole front end much more "adjustable" friendly, tighter, and make getting it to where I want it to be (instead of the factory) easier.
